Similarity with other Taxa

In terms of genome strategy, Pseudomonas phage ϕ6 resembles some of the members of the family Reoviridae. The structure and functions of the polymerase particle containing the genome segments is the major similarity. The polymerase particle also is surrounded by two additional layers that are involved in determining host specificity as well as being crucial in the entry of the polymerase particle into the cell.

Derivation of Names

Cysto: from Greek kystis, 'bladder, sack'.
